[Bug 1572232] Re: Dragon Player not playing DVD

[Flames_in_Paradise]

Dragon player is a simple solution that is offered by upstream (KDE). It
is preferred not to vary to much from the original KDE packaging. Just
take it as a basic. FOSS offers choices.

VLC is easy installable via package-management (if someone wants/needs
more). I think everybody has his/her own priorities. I've been
liking&using VLC for years, especially since I like programs that are
extremely configurablé. Even though I've beeen using the SM-Player in
parallel, since it offers some advantages

Like you, I 've also installed the MPV-player (no volume-leveller, my
bad :-), thus even less than dragon-player). Especially in conjunction
with a firefox-addon   mpv-youtube-dl-binding  it offers unique
advantages like no other package has. I don not like high CPU-loads.  In
german there is a term "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" which is hardly
existent. This translates like "egg-/wool-/ -milk supplying animal"
Reminds me of early days in distro-hopping. Like with most things in
life there are advantages and disadvantages, which you can weigh
personally, but it's hard to cover that for a wider audience. A brother
of mine is not very much into software and he gets along pretty well
with Dragon-player, it fills his basic needs.

> Why is VLC not installed by default since the restricted packages are not required?
Guessing: Licence issues in some countries. (Did say so before.)  

Does DVD-playback work  for you now?
